Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 50 minutes
Total Time 1 hour
Servings 5

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups self-rising flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 12 oz bottle of your favorite beer
  • Optional: one egg and a splash of milk for brushing on top

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a sheet pan pan and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and whisk until combined. Add the beer in slowly. Grab the bowl on each side and give it a little shake back and forth. Don't worry if it foams up a little. Grab a fork and stir with a fork slowly until the mixture comes together into a giant ball. The mixture should be fairly sticky. Do not over mix!
  • Use your hands to gather together in one large clump and place directly on your cookie sheet. If you'd like an extra delicious crust, beat the egg and milk in a small bowl until combined and brush layer on top of the uncooked dough.
  • Place in the center of your oven and bake approximately 50 minutes or until the crust is a deep caramel brown color. Let sit for about 10 minutes before digging in. Make sure you have lots of butter close by to enjoy it with!

Notes

You can also bake this bread directly on a pizza stone, if you have one. Just dust some flour and place dough directly on top. Bake for same amount of time.
